Hey Guys,
I was going to put gas adjust shocks on my 67 GTO but after reading this post would you agree Bilstiens are the better way to go? I am stock A arms and trailing arms except for the QA1 adjustable uppers, all with polygraphite bushings. I also have a rear sway bar.I haven't ordered the shocks yet and will soon so based on others experience I will follow the advice. Mine will be just an agressive street car with occasional track time for fun.
Thank you.

Are you referring to KYBs? I have never ran them. Iv'e only read that they ride really rough and that people that went from them to Bilstiens were very happy they did so. With that said, I went from Monroes to Bilstiens and the improvement was huge. World changing. It was a completely different car at that point. I then went from Bilstiens to to Rideteh HQ's and the ride quality was even better yet, with easy adjust ability to boot.

Bill,

Do the Bilstiens .... I had the KYB's , a great shock on a budget, but for long term the Bilstiens are awesome

You ever get up to NW NJ this year, I will take you for a ride in mine....
